Ekonization questions the role of the artist in the face of human tragedy. Swiss artist Andrea Marioni gives voice to the people he met in Eko, a refugee camp that grew up around a Greek petrol station, creating an installation in which we find objects, sculptures, relics, fragments that have a link with the reality of the camp. A space that becomes a set in which the public is invited to create its own narrative.
For the exhibition in Poznan we were able to publish Marioni's journal about his experience in Eko.
